Visually the exterior appearance is acceptable for a book of it's age, and even internally,the book is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation.It is only the exterior faults described that prevent a better/ higher grading.
Rudd B. Weatherwax,owner-trainer and discoverer of Lassie,here tells the thrilling story of how he acquired the wonder collie as a fractious,eight-month-old pup for ten dollars,and how he was developed into a million dollar filmstar. How Lassie almost missed his big chance and then finally triumphed over hundreds of other collies for the coveted role, including dozens of blue ribbon winners,is a true-life thriller unequalled in dog fiction.
Mr Weatherwax,responding to the demand from thousands of dog owners everywhere, gives a complete course in care and training for your dog in a detailed series of fifty lessons,all illustrated by Lassie.
The story of LASSIE will be loved by Lassie friends and all other dog lovers as well,and should take its place as a standard handbook on obedience training for many,many years to come.
